Mutual learning and trainings
With the goal of overcoming differences and contributing to policy coordination, GENDERACTIONplus have organised 18 events to build capacities, competence, and expertise among the two project Communities of Practice, the national authorities, and RFOs. This have been implemented through joint workshops, targeted training, and other events, incorporating the results from the key thematic areas addressed by the project. Additional relevant topics has been identified at the start of the project. The European Gender Equality Taskforce (EGET) have been also be included among these actions and it will provide bilateral support across countries with less and more advanced gender equality policies in research and innovation.

ERA stakeholder and citizen engagement
Six citizen engagement activities have been organised around the key thematic areas. Potential methodologies have been selected depending on which target group to engage, i.e., stakeholders, policymakers, citizens and civil society organisations, to achieve our objectives.
The engagement methodologies have been included participatory and deliberative processes, such as stakeholder and public dialogues, focus groups, science cafés, and co-creation activities. A mapping of relevant stakeholder, citizen, and civil society groups have been done in the first phase of the project.

Data dashboard
An interactive presentation of monitoring indicators was created. The dashboard is a follow-up to GENDERACTION, where data from the study on National Action Plans were combined with data on women in science drawn from sources outside the project (She Figures, Eurostat, UNESCO).
The dashboard helps to compare the previous and current situation in gender equality at the level of a particular country or groups of countries (e.g. MS, AC) and presents user-friendly statistics as well as the results of monitoring and benchmarking activities.
Videos
Videos presenting the GENDERACTIONplus project and its outputs have been created to increase the reach and impact of our work. Videos are also published on the projects YouTube channel.
